You told me so. If i had done this, I would not have replaced the lift pump.

RESOLVED! IT WAS THE SOCK! I drove It 7mi each way to the fuel station and filled it, after cleaning the tank. I've been driving this truck since 2017. Never a hiccup until now. I suspect there was life in the tank. The fuel had not been sitting , but was nearly opaque green. (My...

Keep the factory filter to catch anything missed by the first filter. Make the first filter spin on and rather coarse.

What kind of funds do I need to set aside to make that happen?

Note the difference between the ones made for deuces and the ones made for 5tons.

I like that idea as well...

I like this idea. I was considering exactly that. Big coarse filter upstream from the lift pump. Keep the factory filter as well. With both, I'd be concerned about resistance to flow and worry the one pump is insufficient to force fuel through both.

Color is distorted. It isn't black. It's hard to get the camera and the light in at the same time.

So here's what i see looking into the tank from the fuel gauge sending unit hole. Upper left is return as best I can tell, and center is the pickup. I'm concerned about that ring on the return. Whats up with that? What's to prevent me from addressing the sock by means of dumping fuel in the...

Remember when @TNDRIVER said it wasn't the lift pump? Yeah, he was right. It acted normal for 2 miles, then exactly the same symptoms. Back on the Strap for the Tow of Shame it went. Made it back to the driveway.

Picture of the box with the part number of the pump I'm using. There's no vent on the top of it, and the inlet is facing 180* off. These are the two differences compared to the pump I removed. I ordered this one. Had I put eyes on it, I would have bought one that was an exact match.

I replaced the soft line from the last hard line on the frame rail to the fuel pump inlet. I took the genset and a set of slave cables over to it. It's running! Tomorrow in daylight I'll police up around it real well and make sure i got all the tools picked up and drive it the 7 miles to...

You sir are OBSCENE! LOL

The fuel line worked pretty well. A hacksaw blade was what the paperwork that came with the pump recommended.

Three different part numbers are given as being equivalent. This was the one with 0030 in it (memory). Wrong pump was my first thought. But the hard outlet line lined up perfectly. The soft line wouldn't be an issue other than it isn't where it was and there's insufficient slack to make the...

New pump is not exactly like the old pump. No breather (presumably not needed) and the fuel inlet is facing the wrong way. Pump is mounted. Hard line is connected. Contemplating ways to make a 180* turn to connect the soft line. The drive rod from the cam is truly cursed. Getting it up and...

Concur. Andy in IN is getting a couple of 14.00s from me at some point. That might facilitate something. Or not. No big deal. Just making options available.

Since this thread is now something of a repository of fuel system info, above is the video showing lift pump replacement including the plate. The two fuel pump bolts are 7/16. The threaded fuel hose nut is 5/8. I'm an idiot and left the switch on so it's stranded where I left it and I'm...

I think I've got the snatch blocks. Pics this evening.
